Next experiment: ask an agent to rewrite go-toml from scratch given just the public API and test suite, and set up agentic automation. If one of the labs wants to support this, reach out!

I've tried a few agents in this context (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex). Claude Code seems to match my flow and work best for me out of the box.

Just released go-toml v2.3.0. github.com/pelletier/go-t… It no longer uses the unsafe package. Nearly 300k repositories depend on it transitively (k8s, Docker, Hugo,...). Removing that hidden risk feels right. This is also the first release built largely with AI coding agents.

How do you design an interface for a machine that needs to feel like part of a construction crew? Construction sites don't run on rigid plans. They run on toolbox talks, hand signals through dust, and game-time decisions that change the scope mid-shift. Autonomous equipment can't demand a new workflow. It has to fit into the one that already exists. In our latest conversation, Ryan Gibson (@EclipseVentures), our CTO @kevinmpeterson1, and Lucas Baier, who leads apps and interfaces at Bedrock, dig into what that actually takes: from how machines could signal intent to people around them, to why real-time site intelligence could change how supers track progress. Full conversation linked below.

Thrilled to be on this truly incredible journey! Building the platform to tap into the staggering, rapidly increasing amount of data has been the learning experience of my lifetime. It takes everything one can do with a computer to tackle that scale.

Anyone knows of a public database of past @aws spot instances pricing?

Terraform but with resources knowing about AWS limits.

New favorite Claude prompt: "generate a ragebait article about poor kubernetes decisions with mostly bullet points. make it look like a review/lessons learned. no paragraphs"

@collintraxx Thank you! I’ll check this out!

@thompelletier github.com/BurntSushi/ is prolific in the rust community and would recommend digging around in ripgrep. also check out github.com/Canop/ (bacon is excellent)

#rust community: any public codebase you consider high quality to learn what good rust code looks like? bonus points if it's concurrency heavy

One day I might just create a new build system. In anger.

@RunsnBuzzAI In theory it should, since Cosmopolitan works there too. I don’t have a windows machine and it was a time-boxed experiment, but I’m happy to take in a patch!

A self-contained editable file that runs everywhere on Cosmopolitan. That was a fun evening hack last month 💻 github.com/pelletier/myfi…
